Wonderful shot of the little bird strolling along the shoreline (I'm assuming that is water in the background). The contrast between the bird and the background serves to (along with the catch light in the eye) to bring the bird to life. I keep thinking this shore bird is a plover.

Thanks. I was only using a 70-200 so it was tough to get close enough.
Most of the images from the series are cropped. The new Sony with lock
on focus in continuous mode helped quite a bit. They don't stop a lot.
